“You know, one of the things that you hear people say sometimes is that America is an idea. And to be clear, America was indeed founded on brilliant ideas, like the rule of law and religious liberty. Things written into the fabric of our Constitution and our nation. But America is not just an idea. It is a group of people with a shared history and a common future. It is, in short, a nation.

Now, it is part of that tradition, of course, that we welcome newcomers. But when we allow newcomers into our American family, we allow them on our terms. That’s the way we preserve the continuity of this project from 250 years past to hopefully 250 years in the future. And let me illustrate this with a story, if I may.”

This is from JD Vance’s RNC convention speech: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/17/us/politics/read-the-transcript-of-jd-vances-convention-speech.html?

I wish these pseudo-intellectual cocksuckers like VD Jance would understand one thing very, very clearly: By absolutely no measure has the United States of America EVER been a nation. The concept of the nation derives from the religious wars of the 17th century and the idea of “cuius regio eius religio” which arose after the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648.

A nation is One Face, One Faith, One Language. Acadiana in South Lousiana is a nation. The various Indigenous lands scattered across the US, like the Sioux at Pine Ridge or the Comanche in Lawton are nations (And yes I am well aware that I am using their “assholes over there” names, but most Americans don’t know Oglala or Nermerner). The United States of America has NEVER been One Face, One Faith, One Language.

From the Catholic versus Protestant sectarian wars from 1517 to 1648, the concept of nation developed until we hit the blood and soil crap of the 19th and 20th centuries, where Europeans ethnically cleansed each other into the proper lands for the proper speakers. You know what put a stop to that shit? American Higgins boats from the West and Soviet T-34s from the East — the sheer fucking oil guzzling firepower of Industrialized Modernity.

America is literally an experimental concept. We have always been mixed race, we have always been mixed faiths, we have always been polyglot.

Scots-Irish cocksucks like Vance have spent the past 300 years destroying everything that is good and holy because they are absolute garbage human beings who got run out of Scotland, run out of Ulster, and run out of the good lands when they landed in America. Stay in your mountains, loser. Leave the fertile soils to the people whose family trees fork.

America is not a nation. Nations end up with Hapsburg Chins and castles populated with blood-soaked countesses dining on the livers of virgins.
